Oh my, Fibbs! Rather than a lack of meds, this really looks like stage one of a "Barking Llama Incident" is coming on. Very distressing, indeed! :worried:

(sigh)

I told you to be careful with those big green capsules. Are you starting to hear everything said to you as if it were translated into Vicuna? If so, there may be time yet. Sadly, if you've already progressed to Alpaca it may be irreversible.

Meanwhile, I see Matron still hasn't given back your clothing. Perhaps she's trying to precipitate a "Barking Llama Incident" Very unwise on her part... That WOULD be a sin!

Tell Matron her photography is superb. Such flattery may help diffuse the problem before it's too late!

My prayers are with you, my friend!

Fond regards,

Endre

This is a creepy pose, very scarry. I think I like the easy going, humorous, Fible better. Definitely looks like someone possessed. The Exorcist jumped to mind when I saw this shot. The pose, angle of the shot, and your use of B/W really creates a strong feeling. Well done. I really hope you get your meds soon.

I do wonder where to find these holy mackeral - they must surely be a devout bunch able to spread the word far and wide, but every mackeral I've munched - no sensation of holiness. What gives? I don't eat the bones... maybe they're more holy?

Hmmm. Hurther investigations.

Just to be clear... Matron isn't Mrs. Flibble. Mrs. Flibble is wonderous and lovely down to every last atom. Matron is to be feared (and hoodwinked into providing an over-abundance of medication). Splendid.

Mrs. Flibble on the other hand doesn't often know what I release onto this so called web of world wideyness. And if she does get to see, it's more likely dismissed with a, "that's nice, dear" kind of put-down that makes me want to pilfer more pills from the stash.

I've passed through the vicuna stage and at last my knees have stopped glowing. It was touch and glow.

But I'm finding the alpaca stage to be far more fuzzy, definitely more furry and a lot more chilled than I thought it would be. Less prancing, more sitting. If I progress into the later stages of the illness, I fear the spitting and barking may reach the heady heights of the aforementioned incident (that contained the barking).

More pills. I can prevent this. I just need the right combination. Red, then green, then pink? Or maybe, pink, red and orange. What if I take a multi-pilly followed by a dash of weak lemon drink?

Splendid stuff indeed. I must regress my illness.

Clothes? What are these things you speak of?

Meds are on the way. Matron has assured me that the 37 crates have made it through customs without a hitch. I must surely be able to regain my "normal operations" shortly. Splendid.

Very intense too. If looks could kill Matron would surely be dead by now so what protection does she use against you - garlic, crucifix or perhaps holy water?

Great expression. An actor too! Can you tell me how you did the lighting please. Especially the washout of the torso. Another great entry.

Another delightfully disturbing entry, Flibble.

Re: Holy Mackerel
They are only found swimming in Sunday schools, don't you know.

An excellent entry, as always!

Matron's died many times from my deathly stare. She's got an agreement from the local funeral parlour to give her a quick jump start when needs must. She's nigh on invincible. Undead you might say. Yup. Undead.

Matron's the only one round here who seems to get reincarnated. She gets a good deal too, a bottle of her homemade squirrel chutney and the promise of a good time has ensured the lad at the funeral home works his magic.

Recipe to evil sin-o-matic.

Place lovely camera on a tripod
Plug in remote shutter release and place in hand.
Drink weak lemon drink.
Take off clothes.
Point flash toward ceiling of cell.
Swallow a black pill.
...and another for luck.
Poke head forward to isolate head.
Gurn
Wait for focus noisey.
Ponder why catnip has made your cats psychotic.
Bleed.
Dress cat maiming wounds that would have been avoided if you were wearing clothes.
Look suitable narked off.
Gurn.
Wait for focus noisey.
Unleash the picute elves who draw on my compact flash card.
Lather, rinse repeat.

Later... review just how rubbish your elves are at getting the picture you wanted.
Discard 30 attempts of theirs that don't cut the mustard.
Slightly over-expose the selected effort in Camera RAW.
Increash shadows and contrast.

Splendid.
